- the overall device can thereby form a slim, unitary structure, for example, in an elongated, cylindrical shape, without the side of the building projecting or offset to the longitudinal axis aggregates would be present, such as in the form of a side of the cylindrical body arranged bypass valve.
- bypass valve Since the bypass valve is arranged in the region of the cover part and in fluid communication with the fluid guide at the filter inlet, the bypass valve is thus offset from the filter sump to the head side, ie, in the immediate region of the filter inlet, compared to the usual, provided for by-pass valves position arrangement, so that At high back pressures of the pressure reduction takes place directly at the filter inlet. This results in increased reliability, especially during cold start phases.
- Return suction filters are used in hydraulic systems in cases where an open hydraulic circuit (eg a working hydraulic system) as well as a closed hydrostatic system are present in the system (eg a traction drive). Return-suction filters can take over both the function of the return filter of the open circuit and the function of the suction filter of the closed circuit (drive), provided that the return flow of the open hydraulic system is not smaller than the volume flow of the feed pump for the hydrostatic system.

- the circuit can also be designed so that the effluent when opening the bypass valve fluid not to the tank, but from the valve body out directly to Clean side of the filter element, d. H. gets to the filter output of the device.
- the inner tube of the filter element is closed, and the valve housing has an outflow region which forms the fluid connection from the interior of the valve housing to the filter outlet in the cover part when the bypass valve is open.
- the outflow of the bypass valve may be formed by openings in a valve housing cover, which forms the support of the closing spring of the bypass valve as a head-side, round plug.
- a valve housing cover which forms the support of the closing spring of the bypass valve as a head-side, round plug.
- the openings in the valve housing cover fluid particularly favorable flow conditions arise when the openings are formed in the valve housing cover in a star-shaped arrangement and distributed with a trapezoidal opening area.
- a bypass protection screen is preferably integrated in the relevant fluid guide in the cover part, so that the fluid reaching the clean side is at least free of coarse contaminants.

Rücklauf-Saugfilter können hierbei sowohl die Funktion des Rücklauffilters des offenen Kreises als auch die Funktion des Saugfilters des geschlossenen Kreises (Antriebs) übernehmen, vorausgesetzt, dass der Rücklaufstrom des offenen Hydrauliksystems nicht kleiner ist als der Volumenstrom der Speisepumpe für das hydrostatische System.A device marketed by ARGO-HYTOS GmbH is commercially available, for example, under the type designation E084. Return suction filters are used in hydraulic systems in cases where an open hydraulic circuit (eg a working hydraulic system) as well as a closed hydrostatic system are present in the system (eg a traction drive). Return-suction filters can take over both the function of the return filter of the open circuit and the function of the suction filter of the closed circuit (drive), provided that the return flow of the open hydraulic system is not smaller than the volume flow of the feed pump for the hydrostatic system.
Das Dokument
Beim Betrieb derartiger Vorrichtungen wird die Rücklaufmenge, beispielsweise der Arbeitshydraulik, dem Filter zugeführt und durch das Filtermedium des Filterelementes gereinigt, wobei eine Vollstrom-Feinstfiltration erfolgen kann. In dem gefilterten Fluid, das der Speisepumpe des hydrostatischen Systems zur Verfügung steht, wird mittels des Vorspannventils ein Vorspanndruck aufrecht erhalten, der sicherstellt, dass die von der Speisepumpe des Hydrostaten benötigte Menge der gefilterten Rücklaufmenge entnommen werden kann. Überschüssige Mengen gelangen über das Vorspannventil zum Tankanschluß und werden gegen den Tank abgelassen. Bei hohen, beispielsweise verschmutzungsbedingten Staudrücken am Filterelement erfolgt ein Druckabbau durch Ansprechen des Bypassventils.In the operation of such devices, the return flow, for example, the working hydraulics, fed to the filter and cleaned by the filter medium of the filter element, whereby a full-flow ultrafine filtration can take place. In the filtered fluid, which is the feed pump of the hydrostatic system is available, by means of the biasing valve Maintaining bias pressure ensures that the amount of filtered return flow required by the feed pump of the hydrostatic unit can be taken. Excess quantities pass through the preload valve to the tank connection and are discharged against the tank. At high, for example, pollution-related back pressures on the filter element, a pressure reduction takes place by response of the bypass valve.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Filtervorrichtung der betrachteten Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, deren Bauweise einen problemlosen Einbau in betreffende Hydrauliksysteme ermöglicht, insbesondere auch bei beengten Platzverhältnissen, bei denen nur ein geringer Einbauraum zur Verfügung steht.The present invention has for its object to provide a filter device of the type considered available whose construction allows easy installation in hydraulic systems in question, especially in confined spaces where only a small installation space is available.
Erfindungsgemäß ist diese Aufgabe durch eine Filtervorrichtung gelöst, die die Merkma!e des Patentanspruches 1 in seiner Gesamtheit aufweist.According to the invention this object is achieved by a filter device having the Merkma! E of
Erfindungsgemäß ist das Bypassventil in die kopfseitige Endkappe des Filterelementes integriert, wobei in dieser zumindest ein Bypasskanal ausgebildet ist, der bei eingesetztem Filterelement den Filtereingang des Deckelteiles des Filtergehäuses mit der Eingangsseite des Bypassventils verbindet.According to the bypass valve is integrated into the head end cap of the filter element, wherein in this at least one bypass channel is formed, which connects the filter inlet of the cover part of the filter housing with the input side of the bypass valve with inserted filter element.
Vorzugsweise ist als Bypassventil ein federbelastetes Schieberventil vorgesehen, dessen Schieber in einem zur Längsachse konzentrischen, hohlzylinderartigen Ventilgehäuse geführt ist und bei durch Staudruck bedingtem Öffnen die Fluidverbindung zwischen Bypasskanal und Innenraum des Ventilgehäuses bildet.Preferably, a spring-loaded slide valve is provided as a bypass valve, the slide is guided in a concentric to the longitudinal axis, hollow cylinder-like valve housing and forms the fluid connection between the bypass passage and the interior of the valve housing at conditional by dynamic pressure opening.
Eine besonders kompakte Bauweise ergibt sich, wenn das Innenrohr des Filterelementes als Bypassrohr vorgesehen ist, das innenseitig zumindest einen Teil der Fluidverbindung zwischen dem Innenraum des Ventilgehäuses des Bypassventils und dem im Bodenbereich gelegenen Tankanschluß bildet. Hierbei kann das Ventilgehäuse des Bypassventils einen unmittelbaren Fluidanschluß am zugekehrten Ende des Innenrohres bilden, so dass bei geöffnetem Bypassventil der Druckabbau aus dem Ventilgehäuse unmittelbar durch das als Bypassrohr dienende Innenrohr zum Tankanschluß stattfindet.A particularly compact design results when the inner tube of the filter element is provided as a bypass tube, the inside at least forms part of the fluid connection between the interior of the valve housing of the bypass valve and the tank connection located in the bottom region. In this case, the valve housing of the bypass valve form an immediate fluid connection at the facing end of the inner tube, so that takes place with opened bypass valve, the pressure reduction from the valve housing directly through the serving as a bypass tube inner tube to the tank connection.
Die Erfindung bietet die besonders vorteilhafte Möglichkeit, die hydraulische Schaltung nach Wunsch zu verändern. Während bei der Verwendung des Innenrohres als offenes Bypassrohr bei Ansprechen des Bypassventils der Druckabbau über das Innenrohr unmittelbar zum Tank stattfindet, kann die Schaltung auch so gestaltet werden, dass das bei Öffnen des Bypassventils abströmende Fluid nicht zum Tank, sondern aus dem Ventilgehäuse heraus unmittelbar zur Reinseite des Filterelementes, d. h. zum Filterausgang der Vorrichtung gelangt. In diesem Falle ist das Innenrohr des Filterelementes geschlossen, und das Ventilgehäuse weist einen Ausströmbereich auf, der bei geöffnetem Bypassventil die Fluidverbindung vom Innenraum des Ventilgehäuses zum Filterausgang im Deckelteil bildet.The invention offers the particularly advantageous possibility of changing the hydraulic circuit as desired. While in the use of the inner tube as an open bypass tube in response to the bypass valve, the pressure reduction via the inner tube takes place directly to the tank, the circuit can also be designed so that the effluent when opening the bypass valve fluid not to the tank, but from the valve body out directly to Clean side of the filter element, d. H. gets to the filter output of the device. In this case, the inner tube of the filter element is closed, and the valve housing has an outflow region which forms the fluid connection from the interior of the valve housing to the filter outlet in the cover part when the bypass valve is open.
Hierbei kann der Ausströmbereich des Bypassventils durch Öffnungen in einem Ventilgehäusedeckel gebildet sein, der als kopfseitiger, runder Stopfen die Abstützung der Schließfeder des Bypassventils bildet. Für das über die Öffnungen im Ventilgehäusedeckel abströmende Fluid ergeben sich besonders günstige Strömungsverhältnisse, wenn die Öffnungen im Ventilgehäusedeckel in sternförmig verteilter Anordnung und mit trapezförmiger Öffnungsfläche ausgebildet sind.Here, the outflow of the bypass valve may be formed by openings in a valve housing cover, which forms the support of the closing spring of the bypass valve as a head-side, round plug. For the effluent via the openings in the valve housing cover fluid particularly favorable flow conditions arise when the openings are formed in the valve housing cover in a star-shaped arrangement and distributed with a trapezoidal opening area.
Insbesondere in den Fällen, in denen das Innenrohr geschlossen ist und das Fluid bei angesprochenem Bypassventil unmittelbar zum Filterausgang strömt, ist vorzugsweise in die betreffende Fluidführung im Deckelteil ein Bypassschutzsieb integriert, so dass das zur Reinseite gelangende Fluid zumindest von gröberen Verschmutzungen frei ist.Particularly in the cases in which the inner tube is closed and the fluid flows directly to the filter outlet when the bypass valve is addressed, a bypass protection screen is preferably integrated in the relevant fluid guide in the cover part, so that the fluid reaching the clean side is at least free of coarse contaminants.
Bei vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispielen ist auch eine dritte Ventileinrichtung, nämlich in Form eines Nachsaugventils, in zur Längsachse des Filterelementes konzentrischer Anordnung vorgesehen. Dadurch ist, ohne von der In-Line-Bauweise abzugehen, sichergestellt, dass bei einem Ausfall des Rücklaufdruckes in der Art einer Notfunktion über das Nachsaugventil vom Tank her eine Fluidmenge zur Saugseite der Speisepumpe des hydrostatischen Kreises gelangen kann, so dass kein Ausfall des beispielsweise angeschlossenen Fahrantriebes erfolgt.In advantageous embodiments, a third valve device, namely in the form of a Nachsaugventils, provided in the longitudinal axis of the filter element concentric arrangement. This ensures, without departing from the in-line design, ensures that in case of failure of the return pressure in the manner of an emergency function on the suction valve from the tank forth a fluid amount can reach the suction side of the feed pump of the hydrostatic circuit, so that no failure of example connected traction drive takes place.
Vorzugsweise weist das Filtergehäuse für den Austritt überschüssiger Rücklaufmengen zum Tank einen bodenseitigen Tankanschluß auf, wobei das Vorspannventil in dem dem Tankanschluß benachbarten Bodenbereich des Filtergehäuses für das Sperren oder Freigeben einer Fluidverbindung zwischen Filterausgang und Tankanschluß angeordnet ist.Preferably, the filter housing for the discharge of excess return amounts to the tank on a bottom-side tank port, wherein the biasing valve is disposed in the tank connection adjacent the bottom portion of the filter housing for blocking or releasing a fluid connection between the filter outlet and tank port.
Ausführungsbeispiele, bei denen das Nachsaugventil unterhalb des Vorspannventils, zum Tankanschluß näherliegend, im Bodenbereich des Filtergehäuses angeordnet sind, eignen sich in besonderer Weise für einen Tankeinbau der Vorrichtung, da keine gesonderten Zuleitungen zum Nachsaugventil erforderlich sind.Embodiments in which the Nachsaugventil are arranged below the biasing valve, closer to the tank connection, in the bottom region of the filter housing, are particularly suitable for tank installation of the device, since no separate supply lines are required for Nachsaugventil.
Die Vorrichtung kann in vorteilhafter Weise so gestaltet sein, dass das bei der Filtration von außen nach innen durchströmbare Filtermedium des Filterelementes ein koaxiales, fluiddurchlässiges Stützrohr umgibt, wobei innerhalb und im Abstand von diesem ein konzentrisches Innenrohr angeordnet ist und wobei das an dessen Außenseite befindliche gereinigte Fluid am Ende des Innenrohres mit den im Bodenbereich des Filtergehäuses befindlichen Einheiten in Form des Vorspannventils und des Nachsaugventils in Fluidverbindung ist. Dadurch ist innerhalb des Filterelementes ein Rohrin-Rohrsystem geschaffen, bei dem das Innenrohr, dessen Außenseite bei der Filtration an die Reinseite angrenzt, mit seiner Rohraußenseite die Fluidverbindung zu den bodenseitigen Ventileinheiten hin bildet. Diese Rohrin-Rohr Bauweise führt zu einem besonders kompakten, schlanken Baukörper der Vorrichtung mit hoher Eigenstabilität auch beim Auftreten etwaiger Druckschwankungen im Betrieb.The device can be designed in an advantageous manner so that the filter medium of the filter element which can be flowed through during the filtration from the outside to the inside a coaxial, fluid-permeable support tube, wherein a concentric inner tube is disposed within and spaced therefrom, and wherein the cleaned fluid located on the outside thereof is in fluid communication at the end of the inner tube with the units in the bottom region of the filter housing in the form of the biasing valve and the Nachsaugventils , As a result, a Rohrin pipe system is created within the filter element, wherein the inner tube, the outside of which is adjacent to the clean side in the filtration, forms the fluid connection to the bottom-side valve units with its tube outside. This Rohrin-tube design leads to a particularly compact, slim structure of the device with high intrinsic stability even in the event of any pressure fluctuations during operation.
Bei derartigen Ausführungsbeispielen kann vorzugsweise der Bodenbereich des Filtergehäuses einen das Innenrohr des eingesetzten Filterelementes fortsetzenden Rohrkörper aufweisen, auf dem die Ventilkörper von Vorspannventil und Nachsaugventil für Öffnungs- und Schließbewegungen, die zueinander gegensinnig sind, geführt sind. Diese Ventileinheiten bilden somit einen unmittelbaren koaxialen Fortsatz an der Unterseite des Filterelementes.In such embodiments, preferably, the bottom portion of the filter housing having a the inner tube of the filter element used continued tubular body on which the valve body of the biasing valve and suction valve for opening and closing movements, which are opposite to each other out. These valve units thus form an immediate coaxial extension on the underside of the filter element.
Um auch bei einem Öffnen des Nachsaugventils die Gefahr zu vermeiden, dass über nachgesaugtes Fluid Verschmutzungen zur Reinseite und damit zum Anschluß der Speisepumpe des nachgeordneten hydrostatischen Kreislaufs gelangen kann, ist vorzugsweise eine Nachsaug-Siebanordnung vorgesehen, die in den Fluidweg zwischen den Nachsaugöffnungen des Nachsaugventils und dem Tankanschluß eingefügt ist.In order to avoid the risk that even after opening the Nachsaugventils dirt can reach the clean side and thus to connect the feed pump of the downstream hydrostatic circuit, preferably a Nachsaug-Siebanordnung is provided in the fluid path between the Nachsaugöffnungen the Nachsaugventils and inserted in the tank connection.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Filtervorrichtung ist ein neuartiges Rohr- in Rohrsystem gebildet, bei dem das Bypassrohr zentrisch durch das Elementstützrohr geführt ist und die Position des Bypassventils wechselt vom "Filtersumpf" nach oben. Durch das Verschließen des Bypassrohres und eines anderen Bypassverschlußdeckels kann die Schaltlogig der Filtervorrichtung einfach geändert werden, d.h. der Bypass geht direkt zur Saugseite. Möglich ist dies unter anderem durch den Einsatz des neuartigen, innen hohlen Bypassventils in Schieberbauform. Weiter ist mit der erfindungsgemäßen Filtervorrichtung gewährleistet, dass ohne eingesetztes Filterelement es keinen Speisedruckaufbau gibt, was eine Indikation für das fehlende Filterelement darstellt. Die neuartige Bypasskappe in sog. Cross-Flow-Bauweise erlaubt durch die besondere Trapezform der Querkanäle, dass der Querschnitt des gefilterten Öls sich nicht verengt, so dass Energieverluste im Filtrierbetrieb vermieden sind.With the filter device according to the invention, a novel pipe is formed in pipe system, in which the bypass pipe is guided centrally through the element support tube and the position of the bypass valve changes from the "sump" upwards. By closing the bypass tube and another bypass cap, the switching logic of the filter device can be easily changed, i. the bypass goes directly to the suction side. This is possible, among other things, through the use of the novel, inside hollow bypass valve in slide design. Next is ensured with the filter device according to the invention that without inserted filter element there is no feed pressure build-up, which is an indication of the missing filter element. Due to the special trapezoidal shape of the cross channels, the novel bypass cap in the so-called cross-flow design allows the cross-section of the filtered oil to not constrict, thus avoiding energy losses in the filtration operation.
